    Hey Hive Family! This week's theme is ‘Statement’.

    A statement is a definite or clear expression of something in speech or writing. It is to claim something or make a point or to tell the truth. Songs are also statements.
    Sometimes, songs are way more powerful than speeches or writing whether it’s songs about love, pain, songs about war, protest, peace. One such song is ‘Zombie’ by the Cranberries.

    Leading up to the release of their second album, No Need To Argue, O’Riordan was against the violence caused by the conflict in Northern Ireland, which was making the news headlines on a regular basis. On March 20, 1993, one of two bombs was planted in a dust bin in Warrington city center by Irish republicans. When it off, 12-year-old Tim Parry and three-year-old Jonathan Ball were killed, and also left a lot of people injured. The attack shook the world especially, UK and Ireland. ‘Zombie’ is a protest song written in memory of the victims, especially, the 2 young ones.

    For those of you who haven’t heard the original, here’s the link - the song passed 1 billion streams on Youtube in April 2020, last year making them the first Irish band to hit the milestone.

    Song Lyrics

    Another head hangs lowly
    Child is slowly taken
    And the violence, caused such silence
    Who are we mistaken?

    But you see, it's not me
    It's not my family
    In your head, in your head, they are fighting
    With their tanks, and their bombs
    And their bombs, and their guns
    In your head, in your head they are crying

    In your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    What's in your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh

    Du, du, du, du
    Du, du, du, du
    Du, du, du, du
    Du, du, du, du

    Another mother's breaking
    Heart is taking over
    When the violence causes silence
    We must be mistaken

    It's the same old theme
    Since nineteen-sixteen
    In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
    With their tanks, and their bombs
    And their bombs, and their guns
    In your head, in your head, they are dying

    In your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    What's in your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ay, oh, ya ya

    Here’s my piano rendition of the song and I hope you like it.
